because everybody is speaking this days about this ugly homemade whatever DDR porsche 356 / berlin - rom lookalike.some guys speak about a " miersch " i think thats not one.
a guy from germany told me that mr. miersch was the man with the money behind three cars he let built.
he never built cars as he was a shoemaker. at the dresden university they make plans and also work on some details.
this is the only restored one:this old pic is from maybe......this one ore from number 3 ?as you can see on the pics are the doorhandle , the door itself and the line of the windows are the same.
DDR in the early 50ties was the leader for a lot of homemade cars.
the built "replicas" from volkswagen busses , porsches but not from beetles because they had with IFA cars their own volkswagen.
and with our "morsche" here in vienna we have great fun at car shows...

...and the fastest classic vespa that i could get in 1984.
opel olympia "hearse" and vespa 180SS.

with 17 i need a bigger vespa to get faster to school and a 50'ties classic from opel to get easyer to the driving school...
( the vespa got a red license plate - normaly for 50ccm - and the opel a legal black plate registered on my name)
after selling the opel with 18 i bought a sunbeam 1600 only for karmann ghia hunting , and some weeks later i got one...
my first aircooled car , a '74 ghia , one owner , lowmiler , only 43.000 kilometers , rustfree ! ( with horrible mirrors !!!)
